Paul,
Although many could argue that it is not accurate (since the 2-digit
numerical representation of the century is one number less that the actual
century), CC does indeed refer to the century portion of the year.

What does CC stand for ? I hope it is not century.

This is a somewhat obscure point that few realize. X12.6 defines supports
dates in both YYMMDD and CCYYMMDD formats. So, the overall syntax supports
using either. Specific data elements like DE 373, which carries the date in
the DTM segment, only support CCYYMMDD.
So, the answer is yes.
